Got my copy of the Promised Land Re-Issue CD today and Chris, you're absolutely right, the sound is teriffic. The "Bonus Songs" seem to have been very well chosen and fit with the original album nicely.

Always felt Promised Land was one of E's best 70's studio albums and this re-issue confirms it for me. I could shoot myself for waiting this long to buy it. [img]style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif[/img]

I would agree Barry ( )...this is a heck of a lot better than the earlier cd's...definately a must...glad you got it mate

A Great CD!
Also Love Song Of The Year is a longer runnung version

Looks like an Elvis cd every fan should have

keep your original CD for the original mix as this upgraded "promised land ' is remixed.

colonel snow

Even"if you talk in your sleep" & "it's midnight" is a nother re-mix

this upgrade verion of promised land is'nt the same mix like the original LP version
or the early cd version.

The early CD versions were terrible Curtis Flat sound...with elvis barely hearable....why would you even want such versions

My first cd edition of the original Promised land was the Japanese version,pretty good i say!!

This re-issue is a nice touch,the bonus songs work good with the originals,the sound is very good too!!

Chris
to let you know i dont have the original cd of this album so i dont know on how it sounds, but the vinyl lp version is much better sound and much better mix.

this is why i dont buy much cds of Elvis's.

Most Japanese releases are Johan, totally agreed there

Curtis, the upgraded version blows the socks of anything previously released...really is worth a listen

How does the sound of this compare to the Graceland box i know it does'nt contain bonus ... just wondered.
I know many peeps who are disappointed with the Graceland sound

Its the best source for the material contained on the CD Denny...can't say anymore than that

I have the Jap 2006 20-bit remaster..... the best sound I've ever heard on this album!

mm...might have to invest in that then chris....thanks for info

Well worth getting mate... A sound investment.....

Got a copy of this cd today..what great cd it is, its awesome to have all these tracks all together on one album..love the bonus songs too like Loving Arms..one of my favorite songs recorded by Elvis! Heck, the whole cd is filled with great material..its got my love for Elvis' work in the studio from the later 70's going even more!!

It incl. a longer Fade Out Version of Love Song Of The Year
A great CD, I hear this CD very often
